An Interview with Fr. Donald Calloway

This is the Every Catholic Man Gospel Devotional, where a man can draw closer to Jesus Christ, learn the Catholic faith and grow in happiness by becoming a better Catholic Son and Catholic Father. Today we hear Jesus, with Divine Power and Charisma, immediately converts the heart of the hardened tax collector Matthew and how Jesus asserts His Divine Authority and rebukes the misguided Pharisees. We’ll reflect upon need for every Catholic man to seek the Gift of Counsel from the Holy Spirit so he can more fully receive and proclaim the Truth and Mercy of Jesus to others. We’ll also consider the importance of growing in Virtue of Diligence by doing a daily Examination of Conscience so a Catholic man can practice continual conversion.

Episode 20 - Jesus calls the tax-collector Matthew and publicly rebukes the Pharisees after they insult Him - Lenten Daily Gospel Bible Study - Saturday February 25, 2023 - Lk 5:27-32

A Dram with Brett Powell

“Judgment is not our job. It's the job of the master.”

On this week’s episode John is hosting solo and he talks all about how important it is to leave judgment up to Jesus. He discusses the tendency we have to judge and condemn others based on the negative things happening in the world. John emphasizes the importance of not rushing to judgment, showing mercy and compassion towards others, and being ambassadors of love and understanding in the world.

After serving as a United States Navy SEAL, Conor Donahue continues to apply his unique blend of faith, fortitude, and focus to serve in his roles as a husband, father, parish leader, and business owner. Conor grew up in northern Virginia with a strong faith foundation. He shares his fascinating journey to join the Navy SEALS by taking us back through his childhood and early teen years. Conor had moments and mentors that caused him to see a clear pathway for his life and to go “all in”. During his nine years of active duty, Conor’s dating life turned into an engagement, marriage, and parenthood. He shares his appreciation for the support that service members receive while also acknowledging the silent sacrifice that military families endure behind the scenes. Conor closes the show by sharing his view of marriage and fatherhood by comparing the guardian role of a man to that of a sheepdog. Show segments: On Blessed are the Joke Makers, the Dudes must take on the persona of a constant complainer to address the prompt, “Youth ministers love talking about ______.” TBD Question of the Day – What title would you use if there was a book about your life?

Should I Give Money to Poor People? | Fr. Gregory Pine, O.P.

Get your next bag of coffee <a href= "https://guadaluperoastery.com/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">here</a>. Here is the text from Aquinas: Perfection for man consists in the love of God and of neighbor. Now, the three Commandments which were written on the first tablet pertain to the love of God; for the love of neighbor there were the seven Commandments on the second tablet. But we must “love, not in word nor in tongue, but in deed and in truth” [1 Jn 3]. For a man to love thus, he must do two things, namely, avoid evil and do good. Certain of the Commandments prescribe good acts, while others forbid evil deeds. And we must also know that to avoid evil is in our power; but we are incapable of doing good to everyone. Thus, St. Augustine says that we should love all, but we are not bound to do good to all. But among those to whom we are bound to do good are those in some way united to us. Thus, “if any man does not take care of his own, especially of those of his house, he has denied the faith” [1 Tim 5:8]. Now, amongst all our relatives there are none closer than our father and mother. “We ought to love God first,” says St. Ambrose, “then our father and mother.” Hence, God has given us the Commandment: “Honor your father and your mother.” The Philosopher also gives another reason for this honor to parents, in that we cannot make an equal return to our parents for the great benefits they have granted to us; and, therefore, an offended parent has the right to send his son away, but the son has no such right [Ethics V]. Parents, indeed, give their children three things. The first is that they brought them into being: “Honor your father, and forget not the groanings of your mother; remember that through them you were born” [Sir 7:29-30]. Secondly, they furnished nourishment and the support necessary for life. For a child comes naked into the world, as Job relates (1:24), but he is provided for by his parents. The third is instruction: “We have had fathers of our flesh for instructors” [Hb 12:9]. “Do you have children? Instruct them” [Sir 7:25]. Parents, therefore, should give instruction without delay to their children, because “a young man according to his way, even when he is old will not depart from it” [Prov 22:6]. And again: “It is good for a man when he has borne the yoke from his youth” [Lam 3:27]. Now, the instruction which Tobias gave his son (Tob 4) was this: to fear the Lord and to abstain from sin. This is indeed contrary to those parents who approve of the misdeeds of their children. Children, therefore, receive from their parents birth, nourishment, and instruction. Now, because we owe our birth to our parents, we ought to honor them more than any other superiors, because from such we receive only temporal things: “He who fears the Lord honors his parents, and will serve them as his masters that brought him into the world. Honor your father in work and word and all patience, that a blessing may come upon you from him” [Sir 3:10]. And in doing this you shall also honor thyself, because “the glory of a man is from honor of his father, and a father without honor is the disgrace of his son” [Sir 3:13]. Again, since we receive nourishment from our parents in our childhood, we must support them in their old age: “Son, support the old age of your father, and grieve him not in his life. And if his understanding fail, have patience with him; and do not despise him when you are in your strength... Of what an evil fame is he who forsakes his father! And he is cursed of God who angers his mother” [Sir 3:14,15]. For the humiliation of those who act contrary to this, Cassiodorus relates how young storks, when the parents have lost their feathers by approaching old age and are unable to find suitable food, make the parent storks comfortable with their own feathers, and bring back food for their worn-out bodies. Thus, by this affectionate exchange the young ones repay the parents for what they received when they were young” [Epist. II]. We must obey our parents, for they have instructed us. “Children, obey your parents in all things” [Col 3:20]. This excepts, of course, those things which are contrary to God. St. Jerome says that the only loyalty in such cases is to be cruel [Ad Heliod]: “If any man hate not his father and mother... he cannot be My disciple” [Lk 14:26]. This is to say that God is in the truest sense our Father: “Is not He your Father who possessed you, made you and created you?” [Deut 32:6]. “Honor your father and your mother.” Among all the Commandments, this one only has the additional words: “that you may be long-lived upon the land.” The reason for this is lest it be thought that there is no reward for those who honor their parents, seeing that it is a natural obligation. Hence it must be known that five most desirable rewards are promised those who honor their parents. Grace and Glory.—The first reward is grace for the present life, and glory in the life to come, which surely are greatly to be desired: “Honor your father... that a blessing may come upon you from God, and His blessing may remain in the latter end” [Sir 3:9-10]. The very opposite comes upon those who dishonor their parents; indeed, they are cursed in the law by God [Deut 27:16]. It is also written: “He who is unjust in that which is little, is unjust also in what is greater” [Lk 16:10]. But this our natural life is as nothing compared with the life of grace. And so, therefore, if you do not acknowledge the blessing of the natural life which you owe to your parents, then you are unworthy of the life of grace, which is greater, and all the more so for the life of glory, which is the greatest of all blessings. A Long Life.—The second reward is a long life: “That you may be long-lived upon the land.” For “he who honors his father shall enjoy a long life” [Sir 3:7]. Now, that is a long life which is a full life, and it is not observed in time but in activity, as the Philosopher observes. Life, however, is full inasmuch as it is a life of virtue; so a man who is virtuous and holy enjoys a long life even if in body he dies young: “Being perfect in a short space, he fulfilled a long time; for his soul pleased God” [Wis 4:13]. Thus, for example, he is a good merchant who does as much business in one day as another would do in a year. And note well that it sometimes happens that a long life may lead up to a spiritual as well as a bodily death, as was the case with Judas. Therefore, the reward for keeping this Commandment is a long life for the body. But the very opposite, namely, death is the fate of those who dishonor their parents. We receive our life from them; and just as the soldiers owe fealty to the king, and lose their rights in case of any treachery, so also they who dishonor their parents deserve to forfeit their lives: “The eye that mocks his father and despises the labor of his mother in bearing him, let the ravens pick it out, and the young eagles eat it” [Prov 30:17]. Here “the ravens” signify officials of kings and princes, who in turn are the “young eagles.” But if it happens that such are not bodily punished, they nevertheless cannot escape death of the soul. It is not well, therefore, for a father to give too much power to his children: “Do not give to a son or wife, brother or friend, power over you while you live; and do not give your estate to another, lest you repent” [Sir 33:20]. The third reward is to have in turn grateful and pleasing children. For a father naturally treasures his children, but the contrary is not always the case: “He who honors his father shall have joy in his own children” [Sir 3:6]. Again: “With what measure you measure, it shall be measured to you again” [Mt 7:2]. The fourth reward is a praiseworthy reputation: “For the glory of a man is from the honor of his father” [Sir 3:13]. And again: “Of what an evil fame is he who forsakes his father?” [Sir 3:18]. A fifth reward is riches: “The father’s blessing establishes the houses of his children, but the mother’s curse roots up the foundation” [Sir 3:11].

99: Why should I honor my parents?

A major trend in popular spirituality right now, mindfulness is a technique by which practitioners focus on the present moment and what they objectively experience through their senses. The idea behind the technique is to interrupt thoughts and judgments that can potentially be overwhelming and heighten anxiety, thus reducing depression and other mental health disorders. Deacon Harold continues Music Week talking about mediation and Soulful Psalm 121.

Have you ever wondered why there is a Christmas Season? Like no other holiday, Christmas carries with it an intense period of anticipation, in which our hearts are readied with hope and love.

WOF 103: Why is there a Christmas Season?

In the ascent towards holiness and happiness, a Catholic man must build the good habits (Virtue, from the Latin, vir, meaning “manliness, moral strength, goodness, valor”) of the moral life and break the bad habits (Vice, from the Latin, vitium, meaning “defect, offense, blemish, imperfection”) which cause him to fall into sin and risk losing his salvation. The Church provides a comprehensive list of Virtues which fall into two major categories: Theological Virtues (Supernatural) and Cardinal Virtues (Human). Because it is impossible for a mere man ascend to Heaven on his own ability, God grants every Catholic man the supernatural help to grow in Virtue through the Gifts of the Holy Spirit which are freely available to every Catholic man who remains in a state of grace; even if a Catholic man falls into mortal sin and loses the Gifts of the Holy Spirit, he can repent, confess his sins in the Sacrament of Penance and return to a state of grace and regain access to the Gifts of the Holy Spirit. What a man needs to break Vice and build Virtue is to come to understand Vice and Virtue and then seek God’s help. To help men understand Virtue and Vice and take concrete action, <a href='http://everycathoicman.com/'>EveryCathoicMan.com</a> has developed the Litanies of Virtue.<a href='https://everycatholicman.com/overview-of-vice-virtue-and-the-holy-spirit/'>To learn more about Vice, Virtue and the Gifts and Fruits of the Holy Spirit, go to EveryCatholicMan.com.</a> <a href='https://everycatholicman.com/litany-of-humility-against-pride/'>To see a written  version of the Litany of Humility go to EveryCatholicMan.com.</a>

Workaholism

Surveys show 61% of people sleep with their phones and 75% grab their phones as soon as they wake up. We’re addicted to our smartphones. In this episode, Bishop Barron reflects on this problem (including his own smartphone use), offering guidance from some of the greatest saints and spiritual masters in the Catholic tradition. A listener asks whether saints feel emotions in heaven, such as feeling sad when friends or family on earth struggle with sin.

The Flow of Sympathy with Dr. Chad Pecknold

We all have to work but not all of know why in the world we should!  A lot of young people today prefer to stay in the basements of their parent’s homes rather than get a job.  A lot of parents prefer to wait until their child is out of college before getting their first job.  What does the church have to say about this?  What about God’s wisdom?  Let’s take a look and go deeper!

Seeking the Bread of Life

The first and more manifest way is the argument from motion. It is certain, and evident to our senses, that in the world some things are in motion. Now whatever is in motion is put in motion by another, for nothing can be in motion except it is in potentiality to that towards which it is in motion; whereas a thing moves inasmuch as it is in act. For motion is nothing else than the reduction of something from potentiality to actuality. But nothing can be reduced from potentiality to actuality, except by something in a state of actuality. Thus that which is actually hot, as fire, makes wood, which is potentially hot, to be actually hot, and thereby moves and changes it. Now it is not possible that the same thing should be at once in actuality and potentiality in the same respect, but only in different respects. For what is actually hot cannot simultaneously be potentially hot; but it is simultaneously potentially cold. It is therefore impossible that in the same respect and in the same way a thing should be both mover and moved, i.e. that it should move itself. Therefore, whatever is in motion must be put in motion by another. If that by which it is put in motion be itself put in motion, then this also must needs be put in motion by another, and that by another again. But this cannot go on to infinity, because then there would be no first mover, and, consequently, no other mover; seeing that subsequent movers move only inasmuch as they are put in motion by the first mover; as the staff moves only because it is put in motion by the hand. Therefore it is necessary to arrive at a first mover, put in motion by no other; and this everyone understands to be God. ST 1. Q2.

The Future of The Catholic Gentleman

Let’s be real; sin is really hard to root out, and we can’t do it alone. But if we aren’t going to Confession regularly, then we’re missing a crucial way to change our lives for the better. So this week, Victor and I discuss our own experiences when it comes to confessing our sins.

In this episode you’ll learn:
 - Why regular Confession makes you a better man.
 - What Scripture has to say about confessing our sins.
 - Why it’s important to talk to a priest about our struggles.
 - And more!

Confession: Perception vs. Reality

On today’s podcast we’re talking about the process (or steps) we can take to get back to God. Each week, men ask if there’s a formula they can follow to live an authentic Christian life. Luckily, the path to salvation isn’t complex, even though it can bring discomfort.

In this episode, we discover that:
- You don’t have to be perfect to be saved by Jesus.
- It’s important to realize that you can’t fix yourself, you need His help.
- The way is to believe in Him, repent, give thanks and commit to change.

Are you ready to get back to God? Take a seat in the pew and join us!

Karl Keating | Part 2

Today I chat with Fr. Chris Pietraszko about the morality of eating meat.  Would you please help us do what we're doing by becoming a patron (you get lots of cool gifts in return): <a href= "https://www.patreon.com/mattfradd">https://www.patreon.com/mattfradd</a> Here's what Aquinas has to say: Whether it is unlawful to kill any living thing? Objection 1. It would seem unlawful to kill any living thing. For the Apostle says (Romans 13:2): "They that resist the ordinance of God purchase to themselves damnation [Vulgate: 'He that resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist, purchase themselves damnation.']." Now Divine providence has ordained that all living things should be preserved, according to Psalm 146:8-9, "Who maketh grass to grow on the mountains . . . Who giveth to beasts their food." Therefore it seems unlawful to take the life of any living thing. Objection 2. Further, murder is a sin because it deprives a man of life. Now life is common to all animals and plants. Hence for the same reason it is apparently a sin to slay dumb animals and plants. Objection 3. Further, in the Divine law a special punishment is not appointed save for a sin. Now a special punishment had to be inflicted, according to the Divine law, on one who killed another man's ox or sheep (Exodus 22:1). Therefore the slaying of dumb animals is a sin. On the contrary, Augustine says (De Civ. Dei i, 20): "When we hear it said, 'Thou shalt not kill,' we do not take it as referring to trees, for they have no sense, nor to irrational animals, because they have no fellowship with us. Hence it follows that the words, 'Thou shalt not kill' refer to the killing of a man." I answer that, There is no sin in using a thing for the purpose for which it is. Now the order of things is such that the imperfect are for the perfect, even as in the process of generation nature proceeds from imperfection to perfection. Hence it is that just as in the generation of a man there is first a living thing, then an animal, and lastly a man, so too things, like the plants, which merely have life, are all alike for animals, and all animals are for man. Wherefore it is not unlawful if man use plants for the good of animals, and animals for the good of man, as the Philosopher states (Polit. i, 3). Now the most necessary use would seem to consist in the fact that animals use plants, and men use animals, for food, and this cannot be done unless these be deprived of life: wherefore it is lawful both to take life from plants for the use of animals, and from animals for the use of men. On fact this is in keeping with the commandment of God Himself: for it is written (Genesis 1:29-30): "Behold I have given you every herb . . . and all trees . . . to be your meat, and to all beasts of the earth": and again (Genesis 9:3): "Everything that moveth and liveth shall be meat to you." Reply to Objection 1. According to the Divine ordinance the life of animals and plants is preserved not for themselves but for man. Hence, as Augustine says (De Civ. Dei i, 20), "by a most just ordinance of the Creator, both their life and their death are subject to our use." Reply to Objection 2. Dumb animals and plants are devoid of the life of reason whereby to set themselves in motion; they are moved, as it were by another, by a kind of natural impulse, a sign of which is that they are naturally enslaved and accommodated to the uses of others. Reply to Objection 3. He that kills another's ox, sins, not through killing the ox, but through injuring another man in his property. Wherefore this is not a species of the sin of murder but of the sin of theft or robbery.

181: The Morality of Meat Eating W/ Fr. Chris Pietraszko

A new survey from Ligonier Ministries titled <a href= "http://thestateoftheology.com/">“The State of Theology”</a> revealed lots of interesting things. But one finding that stood out, and generated lots of headlines, was that most Christians believe about Jesus. Nearly 70% of Catholics believe “Jesus is the first and greatest being created by God,” while 57% of Catholics believe “Jesus was a great teacher, but he was not God.” Bishop Barron and Brandon discuss this survey and the ancient heresy these statements reflect. A listener asks if confirmation is supposed to make us fiery defenders of the faith, then why do some Protestants seem to have more fire for the faith, even without this sacrament?

Choosing the Better Part

When speaking of salvation, Jesus offered more details than just his words. Deacon Harold continues his series on The four Last Things talking judgement today. Also looking Soulful Psalm 16.

The Four Last Things - Judgment

This week on Living the Call, Deacon Charlie sits down with Jennifer Nolan, a wife, mother and the President and Co-Founder of a new Catholic STEM university called Catholic Polytechnic University. She is a former neuroscientist and homeschool mom and earned her Ph.D. in Psychology from UC Irvine's Department of Cognitive Science. She is also the Executive Director of the Right to Life League in Southern California.&nbsp;In this episode, Deacon Charlie talks with Jennifer about her own faith journey: how she turned personal trauma and intense grief into a lifegiving and evangelistic gift of building Catholic Polytechnic University, whose mission is to promote the intersection of faith and science as seen through the lens of faithful Catholic teachings.

He is the head women's basketball coach at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, with next month marking the nine-year anniversary since he was introduced there to that position. Just over three years ago -- during his sixth season -- he became the program's all-time winningest coach. Under his guidance the Crimson Hawks have won two PSAC tournament titles, and back-to-back Atlantic Region crowns and Elite Eight national semifinal berths. He had come to IUP with more than 25 years of coaching, game management and player development knowledge learned after spending time on the coaching staffs of six colleges. At one point during his professional career, he was the Director of Youth and Campus Ministry for the Diocese of Altoona-Johnstown. In addition, he founded and directed The Word and the Rock Basketball Camp and was the Director of Camp Zacchaeus. As a student-athlete he had played basketball at two different colleges.

From Fame to Faith: Joelle Maryn's Conversion Story | R4HWhile living the high-life of glamor and fame as a successful actress, owner of a cosmetic company, and model, and succumbing to the array of temptations this brought, God granted Joelle Maryn an amazing gift known as the Illumination of Conscience: she saw her entire life flash before her and was given light to see every act she had ever committed through the eyes of God, including its full effect on others and its offensiveness to Him. In this episode, Joelle shares this terrible yet grace-filled experience and how it moved her to leave her old life and return to God and His Church.

From Fame to Faith: Joelle Maryn's Conversion Story | R4H

Ever wonder why Catholic Bibles are bigger than Protestant Bibles? In this new episode of Pints with Aquinas, I interview a genuine expert on the history of the canon of Scripture, Gary Michuta. We talk about issues like: • What is the “Deuterocanon” and why do Protestants call it “apocrypha” • How did Martin Luther justify removing seven books from the Old Testament • Why St. Jerome rejected the Deuterocanon (and why you shouldn’t) • What impact did the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls have on this question of the canon of Scripture? • Are there any New Testament “proofs” for the Deuterocanon  SPONSORS EL Investments: <a href= "https://www.elinvestments.net/pints">https://www.elinvestments.net/pints</a>  Exodus 90: <a href= "https://exodus90.com/mattfradd/">https://exodus90.com/mattfradd/</a>  Hallow: <a href= "http://hallow.app/mattfradd">http://hallow.app/mattfradd</a>  STRIVE: <a href= "https://www.strive21.com/">https://www.strive21.com/</a>  LINKS Website: <a href= "https://pintswithaquinas.com/">https://pintswithaquinas.com/</a> Merch: <a href= "https://teespring.com/stores/matt-fradd">https://teespring.com/stores/matt-fradd</a> FREE 21 Day Detox From Porn Course: <a href= "https://www.strive21.com/">https://www.strive21.com/</a> SOCIAL Facebook: <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/mattfradd">https://www.facebook.com/mattfradd</a> Twitter: <a href= "https://twitter.com/mattfradd">https://twitter.com/mattfradd</a> Instagram: <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/mattfradd">https://www.instagram.com/mattfradd</a> MY BOOKS Does God Exist: <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Does-God-Exist-Socratic-Dialogue-ebook/dp/B081ZGYJW3/ref=sr_1_9?dchild=1&keywords=fradd&qid=1586377974&sr=8-9">https://www.amazon.com/Does-God-Exist-Socratic-Dialogue-ebook/dp/B081ZGYJW3/ref=sr_1_9?dchild=1&keywords=fradd&qid=1586377974&sr=8-9</a> Marian Consecration With Aquinas: <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Marian-Consecration-Aquinas-Growing-Closer-ebook/dp/B083XRQMTF/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=fradd&qid=1586379026&sr=8-4">https://www.amazon.com/Marian-Consecration-Aquinas-Growing-Closer-ebook/dp/B083XRQMTF/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=fradd&qid=1586379026&sr=8-4</a> The Porn Myth: <a href= "https://www.ignatius.com/The-Porn-Myth-P1985.aspx">https://www.ignatius.com/The-Porn-Myth-P1985.aspx</a>  CONTACT Book me to speak: <a href= "https://www.mattfradd.com/speakerrequestform">https://www.mattfradd.com/speakerrequestform</a> Website - mattfradd.com  Facebook - facebook.com/mattfradd/  Twitter - twitter.com/mattfradd
